RHP Greinke looks to rebound vs. Minnesota
Apr 21, 2007 - 1:35 PM Minnesota (10-5) at Kansas City (4-11) 2:10 pm EDTKANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Zack Greinke cannot wait to get back on the mound and put his last start behind him.
Greinke (1-2, 3.95 ERA), who last just 2/3 of inning his last outing, takes the mound for the Kansas City Royals in the middle game of a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
The sixth pick of the 2002 draft, Greinke was pounded for four runs and three hits in the shortest outing of his career, a 12-5 loss to Detroit on Monday.
The righthander is hoping that the Royals' offensive outburst from Friday night carries over into his start.
Kansas City took the first game of the series by tallying a season-high 11 runs and 15 hits in an 11-7 win.
Boof Bonser (0-1, 6.89) takes the hill for the Twins in search of his first win of the season. The burly righthander allowed four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings but left in a 4-4 tie that ended up being a 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay when closer Joe Nathan allowed two runs in the ninth on Sunday.
Torii Hunter returned to the lineup in Friday's loss, after missing the last two games with a bruised left shoulder.
